Crosley 5M3 (1934). SOLD! A well preserved, Art Deco inspired, five-tube mini tombstone, known as a Junior or Fiver. The cabinet on these was made of a plain wood covered with a faux woodgrain finish on all sides. Usually, this thin decal like covering is hopelessly scratched or missing, but it's still in very nice shape on this example. The chassis has been gone through with all new filter & paper caps and out of tolerance resistors changed. A strong tested set of tubes and new cloth line cord was added. The back of the chassis features a nice intact NRA label dated 1934! These primitive TRF sets need a long wire antenna attached to receive stations, the longer the better for more distant reception. The antenna is connected directly to the volume control, so the louder you turn the volume, the stronger the stations come in (just the opposite of modern radios, start out loud and work your way down as you approach a strong station). Despite this model's reputation for less than stellar performance, with a proper antenna this example should provide more than adequate reception. Because of the primitive TRF circuitry, my standard add-on 3.5mm cord could not be installed on this unit. 12"H x 10"W x 8"D. $119.00. (0000133)

Eicor 115 (1950-53). Eicor made tape recorders from 1950 to 1953 so this is an early reel to reel. It is unrestored but has strong audio when switched to listen. It works in forward but not rewind. The case shows some wear but overall excellent condition as nice as I've seen one. Included is one audio device tape reel, Scotch recording tape booklet and warranty card. In addition there are two microphones, one Eicor and one Dentron. The Dentron has a couple of paint chips but otherwise both are in excellent condition. A great find sold to display or restore. 17"W x 8-1/2"H x 12"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $149.00. (0000008)

FADA 169B (?) Hazeltine Neutrodyne (1925?). I recently purchased a small collection from a nice lady whose husband is in poor health. Among that was this 1925ish FADA 169B? Hazeltine Neutrodyne TRF receiver. This is a five-tube radio that can drive either headphones or a speaker. For those not familiar with these, this is not your modern Superheterodyne radio. This is a three-dial TRF. The operation is part science, part magic, and part art. There is no HI-FI here. All five 01A tubes test better than new, and according to Radio Electric Supply, are worth more than I am asking for this whole setup. I'm not leaving you with anything else to buy. I have fitted it with a 110v supply, period correct headphones and a speaker. I am even including the FADA assembly and operation manual. I had to strip and refinish the Beckly Ralston cabinet. This will require a substantial external antenna for all but very strong local stations. It is large and heavy, so shipping will be a consideration. This is a very nice example of early AM radio. I'm losing my shirt here, but I want this little sweetie to find a good home. 27"W x 12"H x 10"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net $200.00. (0000066)

Garod 6A-2 (1947). The "moderne" styling and gloss finish of this 1947 Garod make it stand out. The six-tube chassis has had all wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced, tubes and resistors checked, and alignment peaked. A high gloss lacquer was used in the cabinet restoration. Plays like new with an internal loop antenna. 13"W x 8"H x 7"D. Jeff Moreland. E-mail: metroman97@gmail.com $195.00. (0000094)

Packard-Bell 566 (1946). Packard-Bell produced a number of models with the chassis mounting in the base. The 566 dates from 1946. There is a hairline crack in the handle. It was secured with epoxy from the underside. The original paper dial is distorted but very legible and rare to find intact. It retains the original finish and overall a very nice clean example. It has been serviced and plays well. 12"W x 8"H x 6-1/2"D. Mark Toppo. E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com $169.00. (0000019)

Philco 80 "JR" Mini Cathedral (1932-1933). Money was tight in the early 30s, and a lot of poor performing four-tube radios were produced to address that issue. The "JR" was Philco's entry into this market, but they pulled a trick out of their hat by adding regeneration to the IF stage, giving it the gain of a five-tube receiver at a four-tube price. The cabinet is in very nice condition with only a few minor specs and dings. I gave it an extremely slick finish with 14 coats of nitrocellulose lacquer. There was some staining in the front veneer, but I was afraid to keep sanding. Not quite as bad as the camera makes it seem. The Photo Booth made the sides a little lighter than they actually are, and are closer in tint to the top photo. I had to paint the chassis. A full set of good tubes. All of the Philco capacitors were stuffed with new ones to maintain originality. Resistors replaced as necessary and a full alignment. The speaker is perfect and the sound is decent. The receiver sensitivity is better than most four-tube radios. Taken all together it is a pretty darn nice little radio, and not one you see every day. 14"H x 12"W x 8-1/2"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net ON SALE - was $249.00, now $199.00. (0000075)

Westinghouse H-130 (1946). SOLD! Six tube post-war Westinghouse that is a strong performer with two 25L6 output tubes in push-pull, coupled with a large 6-inch diameter speaker. Unusual yet aesthetically pleasing cabinet design with top slide rule dial, lighted W emblem and four controls on the front panel (off/on/volume, tone, tuning and radio/phono). This has a built in RCA jack in the back that can be used for a phono or any other external audio device with a headphone port. Because this functions as would my usual 3.5mm aux cord, one was not added to this set. This is the wood cabinet version of the bakelike radio that could be detached from a phonograph, the model H122, using the same chassis. Nothing was refinished on this radio; the cabinet finish is all original as are the knobs, grille cloth and back cover. There is some age-related crazing and minor finish loss on top but all in all it's a remarkably well preserved 80-year-old radio. The chassis has been recapped, tubes tested strong, controls cleaned & lubricated, so it plays loud and clear across the dial with its built-in loop antenna. If you collect all original finish radios, here's one to consider. 14"W x 9"H x 6-1/2"D. $149.00. (0000152)
